ThreeDhero is just getting started
Default Msi P67A GD-65 or BIOSTAR TP67B+ P67

First off I'd like to say sorry for being awhile from OCA forums and bros for a minute. I started working for GE in the data center mostly working with server install/de-installs, trouble shooting, and cabling. Which for me is a dream job but at the same time can be a nightmare trying to cram tons of information in my head .

Anyway looking to take the plunge into the 1155 socket, like the title says I'm deiciding between the Msi P67A GD-65 or BIOSTAR TP67B+ P67 . I want to cut costs on the board since 2011 socket and X67 are just around the corner. I'll be getting a 2600k cpu and using WCing and if DICE is needed staying around -20c (from what I've seen lower temps are worse).

If anyone has input I'd love to hear from you guys

Msi P67A GD-65:
Pros as I see it.

Easy to prep for subzero cooling
Ability to enter up coming MSI events
military class components
Nice results on Hwbot

Cons as I see it.

Priced about $60 higher than Biostar
P55 memory was hard to OC, maybe fixed with P67??

BIOSTAR TP67B+ P67:
Pros as I see it.

Cheaper
Nice results on Hwbot

Cons as I see it.

My DICE pot may hit the caps around the socket
Cheaper Quality???
Easy overclock???
Customer support???

Forgot to mention I'm going to see if I can pull the trigger on this tomorrow if not then sometime next week................
Stupid HR payroll procedures...........
